“don't let anyone tell you that you aren't deserving of love, of light, of appreciation, of joy, of kindness; your heart deserves to receive them all”

dear muse,
in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's easy to forget to appreciate ourselves
to recognize our worth, our accomplishments, and the unique qualities that make us who we are
but what does it mean to appreciate yourself?
appreciating yourself means recognizing your inherent worth and treating yourself with the love, kindness, and respect that you deserve
remember, you are worthy of appreciation, love, and respect
so take some time to celebrate the amazing person you are
enjoy this week's love letter...

our podcast or playlist
most of us appreciate when other people express appreciation for us
clearly some of us are more motivated by this than others, and it can be a bit uncomfortable to receive, but it’s very rare to meet someone who feels over-appreciated or doesn’t enjoy being acknowledged at some level
however, the most important and most difficult aspect of appreciation is being able to do it for ourselves in a genuine way
on this episode, the host talks about why authentic self-appreciation can be so hard, and I offer a series of reminders and techniques for how to do it effectively

our book selection
what happens when the person you work for is more interested in looking good than doing good?
kiley reid’s sharp, page-turning debut introduces us to emira, a young woman who must navigate the messy intersections of race and performative kindness to find her own footing
at its core, this is a story about the quiet power of claiming your own agency
it’s an essential read for anyone who has ever felt like a side character in their own life, showing that the most important accomplishment isn't a prestigious title — it’s the courage to finally appreciate your own voice and live life on your own terms
such a fun age

finally, our film selection
"that’s all"—or is it?
we’re heading back to the hallowed, high-fashion halls of runway, where the stakes are higher and the belts are thinner
in this long-awaited sequel, we find our favorite protagonists navigating a shifting industry while learning the hardest lesson of all: that true validation doesn't come from a nod of approval from a boss, but from finally recognizing your own talents
it’s a sharp-tongued reminder that while you can master any world you’re thrown into, the real achievement is knowing your worth enough to set your own terms

your ritual
this self-love and self-care ritual is your reminder that you are not invisible
your efforts, your essence, your energy deserve acknowledgment—especially from you
appreciation journal grab your journal and write: 3 things your appreciate about yourself today, and one thing I did this week that deserves acknowledgment; let this practice grow into a daily thank-you note
appreciation in action take a luxurious bath or shower; use your favorite body oil or lotion, massaging it in with care; as you nourish each part of your body, whisper thank you to each and every inch of yourself
dance of gratitude put on your favorite uplifting playlist or album and dance like you’re your own biggest fan; because you are

because you deserve to be appreciated deeply and deliberately
